companying-drawings, forming part of this specification, and to the figures and letters.

of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates primarily to machines designed for handling money, and,

through the manipulation of suitable keys,

computing the results desired from thefactors entering into the transaction. The principles of the machine are applicable to various types of computing machines, but the most obvious field for mechanism of this character is in change making machines, and, therefore, the inventiomwillfibe described as adapted for transactions 'm.

which a merchant and his customer are dealing with each other, and in which trans actions money passes from the customer to ithe merchant. The function of the machine is to return to the customer the proper change due him in the transaction, to make registration of the amount of the sale and to makea record of the transaction on a suitable check, sales slip or strip.

The objects of the invention, generally stated, are to simplify and improve the mechanism, whereby the necessity for any mental calculation on the part of the user of the machine willbe eliminated, and whereby correct results will be insured in all transactions within the capacity of the machine.

A further object of the invention is to provide a machine embodying in its construction denominational groups of elements,

- each group of which is competent to operate within its capacity for the computation ottransactions of a limited clin gacter, butv theseveral groups being so c related as that they will operate on the decimal or other approved system for the simplification of transactions and the elimination of complicated computations or what is the equivalent thereof, complicated {wrunt'ita tions of the computing mechanism. A further object of the invention is to provide a machine embodying operative ele-,

ments divided into denominational group's in which all of the movements necessary"in the computations will be effected by advance movementsof the parts rather than by first advancing the parts beyond the positions to be occupied by them at the, conclusion of the transaction, and then retracting them by the manipulation of a different set of factors, as has heretofore been proposed.

lteferring to the accompanying drawings, in which a change making machine adapted for-the handling of coins in amounts from one cent to ninety-nine dollars and ninetynine cents is illustrated, Figure 1 is afront elevatlon of the machine; Fig. 2 is an elevation lo'oking at the right hand end of the machine shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view looking down. on the top of the machine with a portion of the casing removed and a portion of the right hand end broken away. Fig. 4 is asectional elevation in a plane indicated generally by the line 47-4, Fig. 6, but with portions. broken away to show un derlying mechanism and to permit of the drawing being made on a larger scale. Fig.

. 5 is a front elevation of the machine with the front casing, front coin chute, tray and stacks removed, certain --portions of the mechanism in this view being also broken away. Fig. 6 is a sectional elevation looking at the right hand end of the mechanism within the casing. Fig. 7 is a sectional elevation on substantially the plane indicated on line 77, Fig. 5, with a portion of the operating handle in position to illustrate the relative positions of the'parts. Fig. 8 is an enlarged perspective view of a fragment or portion of the key board designed particularly to illustrate the zero key depressing mechanism, etc, in normal position. Fig. 9 is a view substantially corresponding to Fig. 8, but with the zero key depressor in elevated position. Fig. 10 is a detail section showing the position of the ejectors and their'actuating mechanism in normal or rest position. Figs. 1.1, 12 and 13 are views substantially similar to Fig. 10, but with the operating parts advanced in Fig. 11 to a position for beginning the depression of the selector pin carriage, in Fig. 12 advanced to the position of beginning the operation of the ejector, and in Fig. 13 advanced to a position where the ejector has been operated to discharge a coin. Fig. 1% is a detail sectional elevation;
